Window space can greatly impact energy efficiency. The ideal placement and number of windows is determined bye the orientation of a home. Different grades of glasing can also affect the amount of thermal energy flowing in and out.
The starting point of every Fairmont Homes design is site orientation. Ideally, the design team aims for a north-south orientation to maximise northern solar exposure. If this isn't possible, they work out other options to keep energy costs to an absolute minimum.
Fairmont Homes use timber frames as they are a sustainable option, a great natural insulator that uses less emissions to produce. Saving you money on the build.
